Alzheimer


Alzheimer

Alzheimer is a mental disorder happening to some individual who were otherwise active and intelligent. Earlier it was happening to those who have crossed 70. But now the smaller age group also are affected. 

It is a pity that some people loose memory in steps. They forget the route to different places, forget the reading and writing capacities, forget to close taps, shut gas vales, off the lights of bath room when they come out, forget the names and identity, become sad and start crying like children for small offenses. They will be unable to take bath or dress and even to pass urine and motion will be difficult and some will have to force or insist for these. Sometime they are afraid of putting their head in pillow forget how to lie in bed and how to rise and may become bedridden in due corse.

Doctors give some medicine but say that things will worsen further. According to them there is no medicine for Alzheimer and the medicine given is for making them quite. In Qur'an Allah says that for some He will remove memory and they will behave and do things like children and become completely dependent as time passes

People taking care of them will have to be extremely patient and may require some kind of training. Only very good and patient people will be able to manage them. It is better to take care of them in turn as same person doing this may cause exhaustion. 

My wife started showing the sign of Alzheimers in 2010 and by 2015 she became completely bed ridden and suffered a lot. Finally she died on 16th April 2019 at Cochin. May Allah give her magfirath and Jannatul Firdous for the sufferings and pains she had Aameen 

We have to pray to Allah for making us live without dependence and keep all parts of our body and the memory in tact till death. May Allah bless all not to have such diseases Aameen
